Executive Virtual Assistant (President Support + Sales Operations) Ongoing contract, up to 20 hours per week About ILM Professional Services At ILM Professional Services, we don't just build software; we craft solutions that transform businesses and lives. Our commitment to excellence, empathy, and innovation is at the heart of everything we do. By fostering a culture that values lifelong learning, inclusivity, and integrity, we empower our team to create impactful solutions that meet our clients' true needs. Join us in our mission to be the most trusted ally in the technology landscape, where every interaction is a step towards a brighter, more connected future. Position Overview ILM is hiring an Executive Personal Assistant (PA) to support the President and bring structure, focus, and execution discipline across day-to-day leadership, sales operations, and cross functional coordination. This role is a force-multiplier: you will convert priorities into clear plans, capture actions and follow-ups in our systems, and ensure commitments turn into completed outcomes. This is not a basic admin role. The PA will act as the President’s operating partner, helping run a weekly operating rhythm across Sales, Marketing, Technology, Human Resources, and Recruiting. Key Responsibilities Executive Operating System & Planning • Own the President’s calendar, email triage, and daily priorities; proactively protect focus time and reduce context switching. • Run a weekly planning cadence: align priorities, define outcomes, and publish a simple weekly plan (Top 5 priorities, key meetings, deadlines). • Prepare the President for 1:1s and key meetings: confirm objectives, create agendas, gather pre-reads, and ensure decisions are captured. • Extract tasks and commitments from conversations and convert them into organized action lists with owners, deadlines, reminders, and follow-ups. • Maintain a real-time executive task dashboard (daily/weekly) that gives visibility to what is in progress, what is blocked, and what is next. • Drive closure: ensure open loops are completed or consciously deprioritized. Sales Support & CRM Discipline • Schedule client meetings and interviews, including calendar invites, agendas, reminders, and logistics (including lunch reservations when needed). • Maintain sales hygiene in CRM: enter deal details, notes, next steps, owners, due dates, and follow-up tasks within 24 hours of activity. • Post-meeting follow-through: organize recordings, summarize outcomes, document action items, and ensure next meetings are scheduled. • Coordinate candidate interviews with clients; send resumes and concise candidate summaries; track interview outcomes and next steps. • Manage contract workflows: send contracts via DocuSign, track signatures, store executed contracts in SharePoint, and maintain a contract/extension tracker. • Proactively manage extensions: trigger reminders and coordinate internal follow-up at least 6 weeks prior to contract end dates. • Support relationship-building efforts such as client gifts and holiday outreach by researching preferences and coordinating delivery. Employee & Leadership Support • Coordinate recurring employee 1:1s with the President; send agendas, reminders, and pre work prompts to drive productive conversations. • Capture notes and distribute clear action items after 1:1s (owners, deadlines, follow-ups). • Maintain the President’s direct-report task tracker and ensure weekly follow-through. • Support company-wide performance processes (360 reviews for managers): scheduling, documentation, reminders, and completion tracking. • Coordinate internal meetings: weekly leadership cadence, Scrum notes distribution, and twice-yearly all-company meetings. • Draft executive communications as requested (anniversary messages, year-end updates, employee recognition). • Coordinate employee appreciation and gifting initiatives. Qualifications Experience • 5+ years of high-ownership Personal Assistant in a small business environment. • Demonstrated experience building structure for an unstructured environment: weekly planning, action tracking, and follow-up discipline. • Experience supporting Sales operations and CRM hygiene. • Exposure to professional services, consulting, software/technology, or technical teams is preferred. • Experience coordinating across departments (Sales, Marketing, Technology, HR/Recruiting). Core Skills • Extreme organization and follow-through: you create clarity, set cadence, and close loops. • Strong written communication: crisp agendas, meeting notes, and executive-ready summaries. • Meeting and calendar mastery: you anticipate conflicts, sequence priorities, and protect focus time. • Operational judgment and discretion: you handle sensitive information with integrity and professionalism. • System builder mindset: you design lightweight processes that reduce chaos and increase throughput. • Proactive ownership: you do not wait to be told; you identify what is missing and take action. Tools & Working Style • Proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams) and SharePoint. • Comfort with DocuSign (or equivalent e-signature tools). • Comfort with AI tools for summarization and drafting (e.g., meeting transcript cleanup) while maintaining confidentiality standards. • Ability to work in a fast-changing environment, manage multiple threads, and maintain calm execution under pressure. Core Values and Culture Fit Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to ILM’s core values of excellence, integrity, lifelong learning, perseverance and mutual respect. We are looking for a driven individual who embodies an entrepreneurial spirit, is self-motivated, and takes initiative. A passion for technology and a desire to create a positive impact through innovative solutions are essential.

Description We are building Cardinal Hearts, a Stanford-centered digital wellness and anonymous peer support platform designed to help students navigate romantic relationships--share experiences, seek support, access personalized resources, and foster meaningful reflection in a psychologically safe environment. The platform will be fully accessible across both mobile and desktop devices, with a seamless, intuitive experience on each. We are looking for a talented full-stack developer to build a high-resolution functional MVP/prototype with scalable frontend and backend architecture. This is not a traditional social media platform — the interaction model should feel intentional, supportive, privacy-conscious, and community-centered. --- Core Features Frontend Development We need a modern, clean, responsive application that works seamlessly across: * Mobile devices * Tablets * Desktop/laptop browsers Key features include: * Anonymous posting feed * Post creation flow * Stanford-inspired branding/aesthetic * Tagging/filter system: * “Seeking Advice” * “Just Wanted to Share” * User onboarding/login flow * Saved/bookmarked posts * Ability to “follow/save” posts for later viewing * Personal Diary feature (see below) * Responsive UI optimized for both mobile and desktop --- Community Interaction Features We want engagement to feel emotionally supportive rather than performative social media. Features include: * “I Resonated” reaction button on posts * Anonymous resonance counts visible publicly * Optional sorting/filtering by most resonated posts * Private “This Didn’t Resonate” feedback option (not visible to other users; used only for internal analytics and personalization) * Aggregate engagement signals used to improve content surfacing and recommendations --- Diary Feature (Personal Reflection System) Each user will have a **Diary**, which serves as their personal timeline of activity and reflection. Core functionality: * All public posts automatically appear in the user’s Diary, organized by date * Users can also write **private diary entries** that are never shared publicly * Clear distinction between: * Public posts (community-visible + stored in diary) * Private reflections (personal only) Diary capabilities: * Chronological timeline view of all entries * Ability to filter between public and private entries * Optional tagging of entries (e.g., reflection, advice-seeking, personal note) * Centralized place to revisit personal experiences over time --- Mood & Reflection Calendar Feature We also want a reflective mood tracking system inspired by apps like *Natural Cycles*. When users reflect or write in their diary, they can optionally select a **mood using an emoji-based system** (e.g., “Anxious 😟”, “Sad 😔”, “Calm 🙂”, etc.). Core functionality: * Users can attach a mood to each entry (optional) * Mood input should be fast and lightweight (emoji + label selection) Visualization: Users can view their data in: * Daily view (mood + associated entries) * Weekly trends * Monthly calendar or heatmap visualization of mood patterns Purpose: This feature helps users identify emotional patterns over time by connecting: * Mood states * Life events/reflections * Written posts Example: A user may notice repeated “anxious” moods on days involving a specific relationship dynamic, enabling deeper self-awareness and reflection over time. The goal is to support insight, not diagnosis — helping users better understand emotional patterns and triggers. --- Resource Library + Personalized Recommendations We are also building a curated **digital resource library** populated with materials from Stanford’s SHARE (Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Education) office. Library may include: * Books * Articles * PDFs * Support resources * Educational materials Features: * Admin upload and management system * Categorization/tagging of resources * Personalized recommendations based on: * User posts * Diary entries * Mood data * Tag usage Recommendation system: Can initially be rules-based (no need for full AI at MVP stage) Examples: * Users expressing loneliness may be shown community/support resources * Users seeking relationship advice may receive relevant reading materials Privacy and sensitivity are critical to design. --- Analytics Dashboard (Admin/Internal) We need a basic analytics dashboard including: * Total users * Daily/weekly active users * Posts over time * Most-used tags * Most resonated-with posts * Resource engagement metrics * Repeat visitor tracking Advanced visualization requests: * Calendar view of engagement activity * Heatmap-style visualization for user engagement over time * Trend tracking for usage patterns (daily/weekly/monthly) We are open to recommendations for the best charting libraries/tools. --- Backend Development Requirements * Secure Stanford-only login/authentication * Stanford SSO preferred if feasible * Otherwise .edu-based restriction system * Database architecture and setup * Anonymous posting logic (ensuring privacy separation from identity) * User accounts and diary storage system * Saved posts/bookmarking system * Tag and category management * Moderation/reporting tools (basic MVP) * Scalable backend structure for future expansion --- Preferred Tech Stack Open to recommendations, but currently considering: * React / Next.js * Node.js * Firebase or Supabase * PostgreSQL --- Ideal Candidate * Strong full-stack web development experience * Experience building social or community platforms * Strong UI/UX instincts * Experience with authentication and secure systems * Comfortable building privacy-first products * Strong communication and fast execution mindset * Product/design thinking is a plus Bonus if you have experience with: * Anonymous social platforms * Mental wellness or student-facing products * Recommendation systems * Data visualization dashboards --- Deliverables * Functional high-fidelity MVP/prototype * Clean, documented codebase * GitHub repository handoff * Deployed staging/testing environment --- To Apply Please include: 1. Relevant portfolio/projects 2. Recommended tech stack for this build 3. Estimated timeline 4. Estimated budget range 5. Your approach to: * Anonymous posting architecture * Diary + mood tracking system * Personalized recommendation system 6. Any suggestions or improvements based on your experience We are aiming to move quickly and begin development ASAP.
